Bathroom resealing in Sulhamstead Bannister Upper End, done properly
We fill the bath before sealing it. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the new joint is not pulled apart the first time it’s used. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. If you have failed sealant on the screen profile and sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away, we can put it right, on sinks & splashbacks, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & upstands alike.
Somewhere as small as Sulhamstead Bannister Upper End, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.

Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchen worktops & upstands
The joint between worktop and wall takes splashes, crumbs and cleaning sprays. We seal them in a colour that suits the worktop, so the line doesn’t stand out.
Baths
A bath shifts slightly every time it’s filled, so we fill it with water before sealing. The joint is then laid with the bath at its lowest point.
What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Somewhere like Sulhamstead Bannister Upper End needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.

Advice
Bathrooms and kitchens in Sulhamstead Bannister Upper End
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.

Why act early in Sulhamstead Bannister Upper End
Bleach and mould sprays may lighten black marks for a while, but where mould is inside the silicone it normally comes back. The lasting answer is to remove the bead and start again. Older cottages and farmhouses around Sulhamstead Bannister Upper End can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

What we are called out for in Sulhamstead Bannister Upper End
Older sealant shrinks and hardens. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, leaving a thin gap where water and food collect. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
If you let a flat or house near Theale station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- The type of sealant required
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether the work is at height
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The type of property
- If someone has resealed it before
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we will come back to you with a quote.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
Check the sealant now and then. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, so if something doesn’t look right, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Don’t wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.

Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old sealant comes out first.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
Most people choose white or clear, but other colours can be used to suit tiles and worktops. Tell us what you’d like when you get in touch.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. The old sealant is cut out and the joint degreased, because cooking grease stops silicone sticking, then we reseal in a colour to suit.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
